For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth instead of water. A bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving! Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the delicious broth. For a vegan option, ensure your tomato paste is vegan-friendly. If using a pressure cooker, cook all ingredients except parsley for 3-4 minutes under 15 pounds pressure. Stir in parsley after releasing the pressure. Soaking the beans overnight is crucial for reducing cooking time and improving digestibility.
